Thanks!  I clicked the HOTWIRE flash10 link and booked Hotel Banke!

I need help finding a nice hotel for last leg of Europe trip.  These 2 caught my eye, however, I am open to suggestions for the travel dates listed below if anyone is more familiar with the area.  Priceline didn't have as good of rates for my dates. Budget max is somewhere around $250/night depending how good of a deal is out there.  If I can't find anything luxurious I may just go Airbnb route.

Hotwire said Last Person got Hotel Banke for Zone 1 and for Zone 2 Hotel Napoleon.  Does that mean that is what the hotels are? I haven't seen them disclose hotels before.

I wanted to just follow up with the thread.  I never found a good enough deal through Priceline.  I rented an apartment at half the price and stayed in Hell's Kitchen near Columbus Circle.  I <3 NY

I'm still lurking around for a deal.  I haven't forgotten about this thread!  Still trying to find something in the sub 225 range..  The discounts aren't juicy enough to bite yet...

Wow how do I find that rate ??? Can't even find a well updated  4 star for under 250 a night... 

Well, the hotel resort fee shows 160 for the 4 nights so I know that it is 48Lex (only one that charges 40 a night fee).  I stopped at 240 bidding.  The priceline express deal went up to 290 from 278.  Maybe missed my window.  Will check back in the morning.

thanks again for your help.

Hmm I'm looking at blind bidding a 4.5* hotel in the midtown east.  I saw a PRICELINE EXPRESS deal 4.5* for $278.  I'm thinking about blind bidding slightly lower. Do you have any experience with the express deal price vs the blind bid price?  I'm fairly certain that the 4.5* express deal is 48lex or benjamin hotel based off the listed amenities. I'm thinking that the only other hotel in the blind bid that could pop up is the waldorf astoria.  

Would like to get your opinion before I start bidding higher.  I bid $220 earlier this morning and it didn't work.  I'm thinking 250 would be my highest bid for this area. 

Which one would you recommend?  To be honest none of them blew me away for the price. Would you recommend blind bidding instead of express deals?  I'm not confident in selecting one of these at all.  I miss Kauai now.

I ended up getting 3* PRICELINE EXPRESS deal for $132 per night and got Aston Poipu Kai.  

I already did?

Thanks.  I replied.  Are you familiar with the New York area?

Did not want to select this hotel.  I ended up going with an unlocked express deal for Poipu Kai on priceline.

I would like a 4* and up hotel, but wouldn't mind a 3* if it is nice and only has 3* because of lacking amenities.  I was told to try staying in Midtown East but would also be willing to hear a suggestion for those that have been to NYC before.  I've heard to stay clear of Times Square due to heavy touristy feel.

I already booked my flight for October 15th through 19th. My budget would be 150-225 a night.  

Amenities - I'm looking for a clean and updated room.  No bed bugs.  Close to subways.
